The Kraken Posted 2 December, 2023 Share Posted 2 December, 2023 Well done Saints. Best overall display of the season I’d say. Adarma obvious MOTM but it thought Shea Charles was bloody brilliant.

Much better today, more progressive passing instead of keeping the ball for the sake of possession. Literally, I don't think there was a bad player today, but some questionable finishing. Aribo looked very controlling when he came on and Mara had a bit of a swagger about him even if the decision making was missing. Happy with that, shame the the 3 above are also chugging along nicely. We do need another striker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSaint Posted 2 December, 2023 Share Posted 2 December, 2023 The key difference for me was that we played fewer final-third passes and opted for balls through the defence and earlier delivery. Compared with Wednesday night we were down 10% on possession but had about ten times the scoring opportunities. For me, Charles in for Smallbone helped that to happen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewYorkSaint Posted 2 December, 2023 Share Posted 2 December, 2023 Well... for those who've been reluctant to embrace Martin-ball, I'd say today's your surrender day. Even though, we coulda shoulda had a few more goals, what we saw wasn't just effective, it was f@#$in' ENTERTAINING. When you get joy just seeing your team zing their way out of defense, life is good! Loved the game, love the team, it's fantastic that we aren't just 11 good players... the whole bench gets it too and contributes beautifully. Aribo?!! wow. that was beautiful to see. We just might have a beautiful few months in store. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 2 December, 2023 Share Posted 2 December, 2023 We should have had a hatful. Adams confirms his status as No 1 waste of space.

Vancouver Saint Posted 2 December, 2023 Share Posted 2 December, 2023 First time all streams were rubbish...frustrating to watch between buffering but from what I saw it looked like our best performance of the season - should have been 5 or 6 goals at least - I saw Fraser miss about four chances.

Saint86 Posted 2 December, 2023 Share Posted 2 December, 2023 Very good performance today. Thought we actually looked better without Sulemana. Armstrong offers more from a defensive stand point and keeps hold of the ball better. Arma and KWP had very good games in particular. Baz was solid when called upon. Manning generally pretty good and offered a fair amount going forward. Impressed by Aribo when he came on (if he's going to play like that he can start), and Fraser as well. Even Mara looked half decent when he came on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadhall Saint Posted 2 December, 2023 Share Posted 2 December, 2023 Good game - Cardiff were dross and we should have had more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted 2 December, 2023 Share Posted 2 December, 2023 That was a really good performance. We set out a team to get at them with a mixed range of passing at a good tempo. Our two goals, were both really good moves, combingin the above with a bit of skill too. AA getting the goals to match his work rate. Another super performacne from him, and he'll be disapointed not to have done and scored more. His work rate and approach can be seen elsewhere. Downes puts in a shift, and we're a very mobile side. At least right up to the final ball. That's not just players playing into their normal positions either. Our players move into varous positions as the play dictates. KWP was over on the other flank at points. Manning was allowed a bit more freedom today too, which suits him more. Cardiff came into it a little more before half time, and started with more possession in the second. But we would have felt very hard done by, if they had got anything from this game. Our usual weak spots in the full back positions, and direct counters were where they had a couple of opportunities. But our team know these are weak spots, and were alert enough to deal with them. With that second goal, we had a bit of a cushion too. Although it was two goals, we had plenty of shots and even more nearly moments that could have led to chances. From all over the pitch, and noticable when Fraser came on. Earlier in the game, we had all the build up. But the players who we'd want to be on the end of things are often part of the build up, so it's touch to create chances. Having Adams on as a focal point to worry their defenders, gave AA more room. In a similar way to how recent teams have been overmarking Sulemana, allowing other players space. Although Adams had chances, with one really, really good one later on, and didn't finish, there were lots of positives in his game. We also got to see players in a slightly differnt way. With Adams on, an on form AA not only wan;t our only striker, but had someone to put passes into. As a team, we were able to be a little more forward. Aribo (fitter and quicker) made a difference coming on again, and Fraser just terrified their defence. If anything he shot on sight too often, letting them off the hook. Downes was all round excellent, while Charles made good solid passing deicsions. WIth better heading, he could be a threat from set peices too. Stu is our best dribbler, setting up one goal and nearly getting right through himself later on. We were very organised defensivly. All of that passing is paying off as the players know where they have to be at any time to get that style moving. We were comfortable playing it out. Without being overly troubled Baz did everything he needed to, with one good run out to head the ball clear. A convincing win, with lots of good performances. And the manner of the win was off of the things Martin has been bringing in all season, so he'll be very pelased at a lot of that today. Lots more to come as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Saint Posted 2 December, 2023 Share Posted 2 December, 2023 Probably the most enjoyable game of the season. Only thing missing was a bit more composure in front of goal, could've won that by 5-6. Back 4 all very solid today, Downes and Charles very composed and need to be the starting midfield pair in every game, AA deserved his hat trick, worked his socks off. A good afternoon all round. #WeMarchOn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony often points in the direction of Soccerstreams and the one today with Dean Hammond's commentary was really good. Cardiff were passive but that was the most convincing win of the season. Yes, Adam Armstrong was MOTM but defence was fantastic, Downes & Charles were superb, liked Alcaraz & Aribo. Very satisfying viewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 2 December, 2023 Share Posted 2 December, 2023 The window is less than a month away and Adams was much better today, didn't judge the offside as usual for the disallowed goal chance. For me just get rid of him. Manning was better too but he leaves too much of a gap outside him. Most of the players played well. Very good sweep up header by Bazunu. Good goals. The best thing for me was the tempo was much improved and there was more effort to play forwards and make attacking runs. Recycling is fine but just continually recycling as on Wednesday isn't. As a result we created a lot more today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
